NETWORKING AND CYBERSECURITY FUNDAMENTALS

Powered by

SIDMACH TECHNOLOGIES

Course Overview:
Networking and cybersecurity fundamentals training typically cover a broad range of
topics essential for understanding how computer network function and how to secure
them against various threats. The goal of network security and cybersecurity is to
protect systems, networks, data, and programs from digital attacks.
As cyber-attacks continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, network
security and cybersecurity professionals must learn how to quickly identify and
mitigate vulnerabilities. In this course, you will learn networking fundamentals, and
common security terminology including threats, vulnerabilities, attacks, exploits,
controls, and countermeasures. Below is the outline of what the training will cover:

Curriculum

Introduction to Networking: 2 weeks


• Overview of computer networks and their importance.
• Types of networks (LAN, WAN, WLAN, etc.) and their characteristics.
• Explanation of network components: routers, switches, hubs, etc.
• Understanding network topologies: star, bus, ring, mesh, etc.
• Introduction to network protocols: TCP/IP, UDP, ICMP, etc.
Network Architecture: Week 1

• OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model and TCP/IP model.


• Layers of the OSI model: physical, data link, network, transport, session,
presentation, application.

Intervention:
• Check for the week’s deliverable
• Check achievement for the week
• What are the impediments?

Routing and Switching:


• How routers and switches work.

• VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) and trunking.
Intervention:

• Check the level of students Understanding


• Ask what router is capable of doing
• Check if students understand different routing protocols
• Ask how VLAN works.
Network Security Fundamentals: 3 weeks

• Introduction to cybersecurity principles.


• Common network vulnerabilities and threats.
• Basic cryptography concepts: encryption, decryption, symmetric vs.
asymmetric encryption.
• Encryption techniques and protocols (SSL/TLS, IPsec, etc.).
• Authentication mechanisms (passwords, biometrics, multi-factor
authentication).
• Access control mechanisms: firewalls, routers, access control lists (ACLs).
• Principles of defense in depth and least privilege.
• Network segmentation and isolation.

Network Defence and Monitoring:


• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS).
• Network monitoring tools and techniques.

• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for network device
management.
• Performance monitoring and troubleshooting.

Wireless Networking Security:


• Securing wireless networks: WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3.
• Wireless encryption protocols: WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA3.
• Wireless access control: MAC filtering, SSID hiding.
SIDMACH Intervention:
